Any way to download updates not using itunes

I have a very unreliable internet connection that cuts in and out. Each time it cuts out it causes an error(3253) in itunes, which stops and deletes the partially downloaded file. Is there any other way to get it and install it?

Are you close to an Apple Store? You can take it in to the Genius Bar; they will download the file for you.
Do you have a laptop? How about a nice Latte at the nearest Wifi hotspot while you download the Update?

  • Is there any way to automatically update not on cellular

    Is there any way to automatically update not on cellular but on wifi like on android? I am wanting to leave update automatically on but not cellular for updates but I need cellular for iTunes match. It seams that there is no choice for wifi when available. I went through a ton of data with app updates on cellular.

    Hi All updates since ios 7 can be done over Wifi I have not used a pc for updates or anything for over a year Go to settings turn cellular data off that will restrict all data to Wifi Cheers Brian

  • No way to download i-books using iTunes?

    I bought a book using i-books on my ipad. The book is too large to download via 3g. I think the cutoff is 20 megs? So when this happens with an app or an app update, I go to itunes and use the menu item "Store/Check for available downloads..." and the app is downloaded. Then I sync my ipad and the app is transferred over to the ipad. When I tried this in order to download the new book, it doesn't get downloaded. I guess iTunes doesn't check for i-book purchases that haven't been downloaded?
    Does anyone know if this is correct or is there some other way to do it?
    FYI - I'm camping and my only internet connection is 3g on the ipad and a USB dongle on my Macbook Pro. No access to WiFi out here!
    Thanks...

    Well... I guess someone at Apple was listening to me because it works today. No kidding. I was able to download the book directly using iTunes. I then synced my iPad and the book transferred to the iPad. I actually clicked on the downloads "tab" or whatever it's called in iTunes and watched the book download. Just the same as if it was a podcast for example. Maybe there's a delay between the time you complete the purchase in iBooks and when the book will show up in the "check for available downloads" menu?
    The way I found out about this was that I received an email from Apple letting me know that a book that I had pre-ordered in iBooks was now available for download. There was a link to download the book. I clicked on the link and iTunes opened and started downloading the pre-ordered book as well as the book that was too big to download via 3g on my iPad.
    So in fact i-books can be downloaded directly to iTunes.

  • Any way to download update 2.2 without computer?

    I currently don't own a computer, but would like the update...anybody know of a way to make that happen?

    Use someone else's computer? You might even try going to your local Apple Store and seeing if they can help you out. You're going to need some computer.
    Best of luck.

    The latest iTunes software wiped out my apps for my 2G iPod Touch by overwriting newer releases of the apps which are not compatible with iOS 4.2.1.  I tried to restore the iPod to an earlier version without success.  Is there any way to download older versions of my apps which are compatible with my older iPod?

    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • I am using Mac OS X 10.6.8, and I need to download Adobe Digital Editions. Is there any way to download an earlier version so I don't have to upgrade my system?

    I am using Mac OS X 10.6.8, and I need to download Adobe Digital Editions. Is there any way to download an earlier version so I don't have to upgrade my system?

    OT,
    I have the exact same question as heathy32 (I just want to get a photobook ordered, but I'm currently running iPhoto 7.1.5 with OS X 10.6.8 and discovered right at the end of the process of making this photobook that it's no longer supported with the versions I have) but I just wanted to check something with you before I proceed with the iLife 11 disk...
    Namely: do I need download the iPhoto Library Upgrader first?
    There seem to be issues discussed in other forums about the Upgrader, I want to make sure I don't do something like downloading it if that isn't strictly necessary.
    I am perfectly happy just to install iPhoto 9 and upgrade to 9.2.3 using the updater you link to, just so long as I can get a photo book printed!
    Once that is safely out of the way, I intend to upgrade to Maverick etc.
    Your thoughts very welcome
    Thank you.

  • I have an iPod 4.2.1 version and recently when I try to download an app it is either incompatible or reuires a newer version of OpenGLS. is there any way I can update the software I have because I literally cant download a single app. Thank you.

    No, you can't update your 2G iPast past iOS 4.2.1. The graphics hardware on the 2G does not support the latest Open GLS.
    Yes, there are not that many apps that still works with a 2G with 4.2.1.

    Awesome post.  This is the best description I've seen of what continually makes me angry about Apple.  I guess their attitude is, "Whoa, look at all this money!  If it ain't broke, why fix it?"  And Margthecar the I keep shoveling money into their coffers ....

  • Is there any way to download itunes to a nokia lumina 900

    Is there any way to download iTunes to a Nokia Lumina 900 phone?

    Just to be clear...
    As applenerd504 states, iTunes cannot be downloaded onto a Niokia phone, since it is a computer programme, designed to work on either a Mac or a Windows PC.
    However, if you mean songs purchased from the iTunes Store (songs), then you need to consult the documentation for your Nokia. Songs purchased from the iTunes Store are in .m4a format (also known as AAC). If your Nokia cannot play .m4a files, then you will need to use iTunes (the programme) to create an MP3 version.

    Probably something to do with Apple/iTunes cross border copyright !
    Only thing I think you can do is to try and appeal to Apple's better nature and explain what has happened, I would not hold your breath though.
